    The 10-minute penultimate track "Tumtum," in particular, is a tiny masterpiece of mood, stamina, and insistent rhythm, built sparingly on overlapping percussion and waves of sound. More of this kind of thing is what will squeak Boom Bip farther from the then and the now, and closer to what comes afterward.

    Abstract hiphop-heads might be turned off by the slick machismo, but others will have some good dirty fun. [Oct 2011, p.65]

    Although Zig Zaj has a couple of strong songs that will likely find good homes on public radio and progressive dance floors, it sounds more like a collection of individual tracks than an actual album. [Oct. 2011, p. 112]
